About - Access Med Direct

Welcome to Better Primary Care

Access Med

Medical professionals who love what we do and prioritize patients above profits.

We don't like the direction that patient care has taken in recent years and decided to go a different direction with our own practice. We wanted to ensure that our patients received the best possible care in a comfortable setting with providers they knew and trusted. We wanted to prioritize wellness to help our patients avoid illness, rather than merely treating illness when it occurs.

Mission

Our mission is to provide personalized, quality, affordable concierge-level care.

We wanted to eliminate the interference or dictates of self-interested third parties like insurance companies, because we believe the best health care decisions are made when treatment is determined by the patient and their doctor. Period. We adopted the direct care model because it is the best way to achieve and maintain personalized, high-quality health care.

Passion

We are passionate about people. We take the responsibility of our patients' trust seriously.

We know people are happier when they are healthy. Life is more enjoyable and less limited in a healthy body. We are partners in our patients' wellness. In fact, it's our focus. We understand that being a good partner means being available, listening, providing sound, accurate advice and making sure our patients fully understand any health challenges they may be facing.

Jeremy Stich, MD

Direct Care Physician

Access Med Lexington & Danville

My passion for Direct Care stems from my desire to deliver personalized care and teach patients about their own health. The human body has a remarkable ability to heal and adapt, but each person needs to be treated as an individual. The rushed, insurance-driven style of traditional practice simply does not afford time to take care of people the right way, so I chose direct care for my practice and my patients.

Andy Williford, PA

Direct Care Physician Assistant

Access Med Lexington & Danville

I have always been fascinated by people and by how the human body works, which naturally led to a career in medicine. Working in emergency rooms proved that all health care is not created equal and I saw people who were often marginalized during the delivery of traditional care. Direct care provides consistency to support wellness, not just episodic care for illness, and reforges the provider-patient relationship into one built on trust, openness and understanding.

Ryan Miller, PA

Direct Care Physician Assistant

Access Med Lexington & Danville

Our practice enables me to truly enjoy providing medical care because my focus is on taking care of my patients. I work with my patients to promote wellness and to focus on prevention -- instead of being shackled by traditional, reactionary medicine that treats symptoms more often than it prevents disease. Direct primary care appealed to me because it is patient-centric, as medicine should be.
